Multi-cloud Kuberneteson Ubuntu

Ubuntu is the reference platform for Kubernetes on all major public clouds, including official support in Google’s GKE, Microsoft’s AKS and Amazon’s EKS CAAS offerings. We deliver pure upstream Kubernetes tested across the widest range of clouds — from public clouds to private data centres, from bare metal to virtualized infrastructure.

Upstream K8s options supported by Canonical

MicroK8s

Workstations and appliances

Single-package install

Upstream release tracking

Istio support

GPGPU support

Local registry support

Host storage

Developers love MicroK8s as a fast, lean upstream K8s for rapid iteration. It’s also popular as a secure and robust K8s for IoT and appliances.

Enterprise support

Enterprise support for Kubernetes on Ubuntu is provided by Canonical as part of an Ubuntu Advantage (UA) support subscription.. UA also includes long-term security maintenance, kernel live patching and mission-critical infrastructure support for the full stack, from kernel to container. Canonical supports K8s on Ubuntu on public clouds, VMware, OpenStack and bare metal.

On public clouds and on premises

The default platform for Kubernetes

All leading cloud providers, such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco and IBM run cloud Kubernetes services on Ubuntu because we focus on the latest container capabilities in modern kernels. This focus is why Ubuntu is also the top choice for on-premises enterprise Kubernetes, with MicroK8s, kubeadm and Charmed Kubernetes all supported by Canonical.

Extensible

Fully managed

At your request, Canonical’s remote operations team can build and operate Kubernetes for you, on premises or on your choice of public cloud. We will transfer control of the cluster to your ops team any time you want to take over

AI/ML add-on for Discoverer and Discoverer Plus

Extend your Kubernetes training to cover machine learning. Build a full machine learning analytics pipeline from developer workstations to your data centre, the public cloud, and the edge. Training covers essential materials on GPGPU integration, public cloud optimisation, Kubeflow and Tensorflow. Workshop includes a readiness assessment by an independent data scientist of your current data suitability for AI/ML. Canonical works with the leading hardware, cloud and data science companies to ensure you have the widest range of choices for integration in your enterprise AI strategy.

**BootStack pricing is in addition to the managed Kubernetes price of $2,190. You can run an unlimited number of virtual Kubernetes nodes on top of each OpenStack physical node. Ubuntu Advantage for Kubernetes is provided at no additional charge if UA for OpenStack has already been purchased for the physical node.
